Well, I have been meaning to start writing (as a release more than anything) so I joined 
_blank_pages_ and spent ten or fifteen minutes last night writing a short (and not very good) exercise about regret, but for me the whole point is to get writing again. Maybe something good will come of it.
My husband is downstairs watching the Beverly Hills 90210 ten year reunion. I swear he watches more girly TV than I do...of course he is only watching because he wants to know if Jason Priestly will ever race cars again, but still. ;P
Oh and
gianfared the icon is just for you! ♥
Today's this or that is a real tough one, probably for everyone who reads my journal since they are so intertwined and important to most of the people on my f-list, but here goes anyway...
Reading or Writing?
Off to hunt down something for dinner... god I long for the day when I am not broke!

How goes the house hunting?
As for your question, I choose the pleasure that is reading. I can lose myself in another world, be immersed in poetry, educate myself, gain new insight, or simply have a great laugh, get turned on, or solve a mystery.
Writing requires me to feel moved to put the words down. It's the emotion pouring out into a story rather than a story moving my emotions. Writing can be exhausting or therapeutic because it is an outpouring of my emotions.
Reading is pure pleasure.
Anyway, I guess I'd have to go with writing, as I feel it reflects me. When I read, I learn about the manipulation of words by others creativity or deep thought. When I write, I learn about myself. To me, that's more important. But it's still close...

I did a research project last semester on Iser and Phenomonology it was quite inteersting. Of course I am more theory based than writing or literature really.
